Hence the Z06 with the Z07 option will beat the heavier but more powerful Hellcat from a dig, but as the aerodynamic forces start to push it into the track surface, the extra power and decreased drag etc of the Hellcat will allow it to trump the Z07 in top speed.

Now take them to a road course and its a totally different story.

Downforce slows the Z06 at higher speed. Z06 is a track car, not drag car.
